    If the nature of the calls wasn't problematic, why'd Flynn lie about it?

    Because he wanted to fit in with his boss?

    Because it is so written as to be almost impossible to violate and because individual Americans have little negotiating power if they're not officially or unofficially sponsored by the government (which happens all the time, from "Bridge of Spies" to Jimmy Carter) so nobody tries to violate. "Little-used" is an understatement, no case has been brought under it for well over 100 years.

    This is probably not true, but it speaks to the current political climate that I'm inclined to believe it might be:

    That's too Trump to be true.

    The 9th Circuit gave him a pretty sick burn, though.

    pfft. City of Long Beach sales tax rate is 9.75%.

    We have a friend in LA City fire. Nice guy. He received a $600,000 DROP to stay on the force a few more years (he has a desk job). That is on top of the generous pension.

    He is giving up half that $600k to "retire early". He starts a new job in Riverside county next month.

    SWEAR TO GOD, 5 minutes after his wife announced his retirement to us, she talked about the high taxes in California.

    For those not in the know about DROP
    Little-known LA police/fire retirement plan pays pension, salary at same time

    There is a california fire department that has a $500 super bowl squares pool.

    That is $500 per square. Sells out in minutes.

    A. There's no indication he did anything criminal.

    2. The Logan Act is "never used" and dates to 1799.

    C. It's funny how no one is concerned by these leaks coming out of the NSA.

    People need to stop equating what happens in California with the rest of the country's reality.
